Leinster to Decide on McGrath Appeal

Leinster have until later today to lodge an appeal against Jack McGrath's three-match ban.

The Ireland prop is poised to miss their crucial final two pool games in the European Champions Cup after he was punished for stamping on Ulster's Rory Best in the Pro 12 earlier this month.

Meanwhile ahead of this week-end's Champions Cup clash with Castres captain, Jamie Heaslip, trained yesterday and is being monitored closely as he recovers from the knock he took against Ulster. A final decision on his participation will not be taken until later in the week.
